How to choose
Lick mat or slow feeder?
A lick mat turns a spoonful of soft food into a calm licking activity. A slow-feeder bowl holds a whole meal and spreads it through channels. Many owners use both: the bowl for dinner, the mat for grooming, baths or quiet time.
Match the shape to your pet
The Flower eBowl's 2-inch channels are made for medium and large dogs; SodaPup does not recommend it for small or flat-faced breeds. The two lick mats suit dogs and cats of most sizes.
Make cleanup easy
The SodaPup picks are top-rack dishwasher safe, according to SodaPup, and so is the Wild One feeder. Freeze a filled mat ahead of time to make a session last longer.

Questions, answered
What can I put on a lick mat?
A thin layer of a soft food your pet already eats, such as wet food or plain yogurt if it agrees with them. Count it as part of the daily food allowance.
Do lick mats work for cats?
Yes. The SodaPup lick mats here are listed for dogs and cats, and the Wild One Cat Slow Feeder is made for cats.
Is there a SodaPup discount code?
Yes. Our SodaPup reader code is shown beside each pick and on the SodaPup discount-code page.
